The parallel section said the award, which comes with a €7,500 ($8,100) cash prize, was in keeping with the spirit of the event, which has always been open to members of the public alongside cinema professionals since its launch in 1969.

It will be the first audience award to be introduced in Cannes, across the Official Selection and the parallel sections of Directors’ Fortnight, Critics’ Week and Acid.
